A few weeks ago I presented a video clip in which it was demonstrated as clearly as possible that the iPhone 4 CDMA loses signal in the same way as the iPhone 4 if the lower left part of the terminal is covered with a hand. Those from Consumer Reports they put an iPhone 4 CDMA through the same tests as an iPhone 4 GSM and decided not to recommend people to buy an iPhone 4. The reason is as simple as possible, the terminal loses signal when it is held in the hand in a natural position, used by any person who initiates a call or browses the internet.
The problem is similar to the one we confirmed in July with the AT&T version of Apple's newest smart phone. It can occur when you hold either version of the phone in a specific but quite natural way in which a gap in the phone's external casing is covered. The phone performs superbly in most other respects, and using the iPhone 4 with a case can alleviate the problem.
For Apple, the whole problem with signal loss represents a big black ball in front of one of the best-selling products in the company's history. Yes, the iPhone 4 sold tens of millions of copies, received countless awards, still sells as well and still has a problem with signal loss. The new design of iPhone 4 CDMA did not solve the problem, but I hope that in iPhone 5 it will.
